Party Organization
American political parties are decentralized and fragmented. Formal party organizations actually have very little power since candidates can get elected without them.
Today’s parties are organized on three levels mirroring the federal system: local, state, and national.
| Law | Definition |
|---|---|
| Local | |
| State | |
| National |
